Frownstoner strikes again

...and ATP can only ask: why?

It seems that every time Prospect Lefferts Gardens gets mentioned on Brownstoner, WWIII breaks out in the comments zone. Here's an example:

"I don't know what you're smoking, but Lefferts can be very violent and very dangerous. If anyone doubts this, they should just go to Lefferts (preferably in the daytime) and walk about. If you have an iota of street smarts, it won't take too long to figure out that there's a lot going on there....mostly in the shadows."

It's fair to say that this series of posts is actually quite tame as compared to previous rounds of hate for PLG on Brownstoner (though this is the first time we've noticed rumors of cannibalism; I was confident our dietary habits would remain our little 'hood secret). Why so much hate for PLG? What gives?

Comments

i'm not sure what is up w/ Frownstoner. I would usually just chalk it up to the typical online flaming that goes on. but there seems to be some underlying cause for the beat down.

let's admit, prices have gone a little crazy, but not just in PLG. Who would have thought someone would have paid $850k for a 1200 sf 3 BR on 3rd St.? We could all reel off crazy stories from all over NYC for how much people are paying, PLG is just another example IMHO.

Probably a bunch of bitter PS/PH residents PO'd that they paid millions to live in a neighborhood that's about to be over-ran with drunken sports fans and ticket scalpers. I guess they hope if they talk PLG down they can still get in here cheap.
